My favorite bridge has been the Steele Bridge ever since I wrote a report on it in second grade.  I love the dark steel and the tall pilars, and I love all the strong triangles you can see in it's design. I love the fact that it's unique, the only double decker bridge with independant lifts!

I am so excited to be going on my 7th Bridge Pedal ride this August so I can get an up close view of our awesome bridges.

When I was a kid my sister and I would ride our bikes to the Hollywood library every week of summer break.  We would come to get the next prize in our summer reading challenge and we would pick up new books, and movies to entertain us that next week.  There was something so exciting about exploring the shelves for something new or picking up a long waited hold.  I don't know how we would have survived the summer without our library.
